Country Cottage in Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Our holiday cottage is in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the quiet hamlet of Charlton, 3 miles from Shaftesbury. Built of local green sand stone and recently renovated, this pretty cottage has 3 comfortable bedrooms and sleeps 5+cot. There is a big, bright sitting room with a wood burning stove and a generous kitchen / diner with French doors opening onto the back garden. The garden has lovely views across open countryside to Charlton Down. Cranborne Chase is wonderful, undulating country with ancient woodland. Walk down the lane from the cottage, across fields to Ludwell where you will find a warm welcome at the village stores and a fantastic butcher selling local meat. Enjoy a drink and a meal at the local pub which dates back to the 16th century. Walk along the footpath up the hill to Win Green, the highest point in Dorset and you can see as far as the Needles on the Isle of Wight. The cottage is perfect for a tranquil break in a rural idyll.
